Originally I was going to post a song a day and give the background on it — but there has been a change of plans and now EVERY released song in my catalog is on a huge schedule where it will be available free every week. A new file, free, every week.
What’s the catch? No catch. You just have to visit once a week to download it.
The easiest way to do this is to be reminded – and I send out a reminder email every week as soon as the file is posted.
The email also gives some info about each song. Like this one: Email Message

This past weekend I unearthed all of my old demo recordings that I have on hand – I had to borrow these cassette tapes from a friend who was collecting them because I didn’t have any copies of these myself – and borrowed one cassette from my brother, too, who has a collection.
I learned something about myself that I hadn’t expected and I won’t bother to say it here because it would sound more stupid typed than it did when I said it to myself. I took every one of these and transferred them to a hard drive and separated out every song. A little more than 80 songs.
I discovered that these ideas were really good, but unfinished and unpolished because I lacked the skill and/or the tools to create the song properly to its full vision that I conceived it to be.
So I will be recording each of these again with my new studio to their fullest original concept. Let the creativity flow!
And I probably won’t bother to make albums out of these – but these songs will be added to the free download schedule and will be available for sale as single files, along with every other song in the Jon Magnificent catalog.
And in between there will also be new songs.
But it will be a good portion of my life’s works and compositions – about 75%, I estimate – there are many demos and songs that were recorded on tapes that are now gone. Some brilliant acoustic guitar instrumentals and early composition experiments and recordings that will probably never be found again. But the majority of it will be here and will be available to enjoy.
Meanwhile, here is a sneak peek at the online store for the next and probably last album release, YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS, which will begin shipping in August. The Store.
It is fully functional as of last night, so if the urge grabs you, place your orders.
